Hi Alex,

ASK> Hmmm, so its nothing new.

Yes, TheBat behaves like this since the earliest version I have seen -
1.53, I believe.

Indeed. RIT aparently thought that thousands and thousands of editors
were doing it all wrong and invented their own system.

Nothing is wrong with the auto-format in and on itself. It's the
handling of the line feed that's wrong to anyone not having been
trained be TheBat, and auto-format just happens to be affected by it
as a secondary effect.

If the RITs want to stick to their unusal handling of line feed (after
all, some people have aparently grown to like it) it should be an
opt-in feature. (Or call it opt-out, whatever, but it ought to be
possible to disable it.)
